INTRODUCTION
This report will look at the various aspects of the development of a health and fitness
application. This report will also include a Gantt chart to elaborate the project plan, a description
of the project scope including a discussion of cost required to complete the project, social media
integration, in-app purchase, app customisation, testing and launch of the app, the risk involved
in the completion of project and feasibility and sustainability of the project.
PROJECT PLAN
Astra Plc is a small sized company specializing in vitamin and mineral based food
supplements. The company is looking to diversify its portfolio by launching a new health and
fitness app in the next three months.
Project Scope:
People these days live a really busy life, and they often tend to ignore how important it is
to stay fit and focus on their health. To live a healthy life one must maintain his / her physique
and energy of body which comes from doing regular exercise and by playing sports. As
important it is to do physical exercise, people also need to keep a check on the sugar, blood
pressure and heart rate. This can be facilitated with the help of fitness trackers and the increased
use of fitness trackers has highlighted the need of fitness applications (Żabińska, 2020).
There are multiple fitness apps that are present in the market like Runtastic, Fitbit,
Google Fit, Apple Health etc. and also there are various app development companies who built
these types of apps for their clients. Designing and development of these apps requires higly
technical persons, so it is generally outsourced by the companies. Astra plc will look at the cost
factor and identify that its more feasible for the company to outsource the development of
application as it will reduce the cost significantly. App development companies charge anywhere
between £ 2,925 and £ 7,675 (Ndayizigamiye, Kante and Shingwenyana, 2020). Although the
total cost depends upon the feature that are included in the app, these feature are selected by the
client which is Astra plc in this case. Development of a fitness app costs between a few thousand
pounds to hundreds of thousands of pounds. This cost is dependent on the feature like; alerts and
reminders for the users, rewards and promotions, graphs and analysed data, feature of sharing
achievements on various platforms. In short the more complex the app is and the more complex
features it contains; higher will be the cost of designing.
